X1 will sell successfully in the US. All that other crap is pointless . Microsoft doesn't need to "beat" Sony they just need to turn a profit.---Xbox One on day one. Gonna miss my job, well not really.

I would say an X1 would be as successful in the US as the 360 if it sold as many (or more) units in the US as the 360 did, regardless of how the PS4, Ouya, Steambox, Wii U etc sell. So far, it's on track to do that. The 360 "only" hit, what 2.5 million sales worldwide after 90 days? Here we are ~20 days in, and worldwide sales already are above 2 million.
